NCT ID: NCT04113590 Withdrawn - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Laparoscopic Assisted Transvaginal Cholecystecomy

Start date: August 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the standard procedure for removing the gallbladder. This procedure usually requires the insertion of four trocars into the abdomen for passage of laparoscopic instruments; each trocar requires a small incision, which results in postoperative pain and scarring. There has recently been a tremendous surge in interest within the surgical community to further reduce the pain, invasiveness, and cosmesis of laparoscopic surgery. To achieve this goal, surgeons are either reducing the number of trocars placed through the abdominal wall or eliminating them completely The goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of performing transvaginal cholecystectomy while obtaining safe access under laparoscopic visualization. This has the potential to decrease postoperative pain, improve cosmesis, and lead to a shorter recovery following cholecystectomy.

NCT ID: NCT02056678 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Outcome of IV Acetaminophen Use in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies in Patients at Risk of OSA

Start date: February 2014
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to determine if IV acetaminophen administered intraoperatively can decrease the dose of narcotics required for adequate pain control and shorten recovery time in the PACU specifically in obese patients at risk for obstructive sleep apnea.

NCT ID: NCT01146184 Withdrawn - Pain Clinical Trials

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Using a Flexible Endoscope and Ethicon Manually Articulating Devices (MAD)

IRB#08-181
Start date: November 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to improve the technique of laparoscopic cholecystectomy by using a flexible endoscope passed through a single umbilical skin incision, as previously reported, now with the use of Manually Articulating Devices (Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc.) through the endoscope.

NCT ID: NCT00815438 Withdrawn - Cholecystitis Clinical Trials

Transvaginal Cholecystectomy Using Endoscopic Assistance

Start date: January 2009
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Surgical removal of the gallbladder is needed in 1 million people per year in the USA. The procedure is done by placing four tubes (cannula) from 5 to 10 mm through the abdominal wall. Air is placed in the abdominal cavity and a lighted scope is placed through one cannula. The space in the abdominal cavity can then be seen on a video screen. Thin retractors and dissecting instruments are placed through the other cannula and the gallbladder is removed using the video screen for vision. The gallbladder duct and the artery are usually occluded with clips or stitches. In this study we propose to do the procedure though a single 5 mm incision placed at the umbilicus and a second access through the vagina using a flexible endoscope. The gallbladder will be retracted using strings (sutures) attached to the gallbladder. The dissection will be done using laparoscopic instruments (scissors, knives, dissectors) placed through the laparoscopic port. A flexible grasper may be used in the endoscope to help with retraction. An endoscopic snare or grasper will be used to grasp the gallbladder and remove it from the abdomen through the vagina. This study evaluates the ability to do laparoscopic cholecystectomy with one skin incision and one vaginal incision. This will provide the basis for future studies evaluating decreased pain and costs with transvaginal assisted cholecystectomy.
